Once you have repaid a payday loan, most lenders and US states have what is called a ‘cooling off period’ which is a period of one to seven days<\/strong> before you can take out another loan. This is something that is enforced by US law<\/a> and varies between US states.<\/p>\n

The idea behind this is that people do not become reliant on high cost payday loans and have a moment to assess their financial situation and perhaps look at alternatives.<\/p>\n

Whilst payday loans offer an effective way to borrow money fast<\/a>, they carry higher interest rates than the average financial product, with APRs typically around 200% to 400% APR depending on the state you are in and other factors such as your affordability and credit score.<\/p>\n

Although it is common for American borrowers to habitually take out 5 to 6 payday loans per year,<\/a> this is not desirable and ideally you should be using these products for one-off emergencies and not something that can continue into a spiral of debt.<\/p>\n\n
